Page 6: Chapter 4 Operation
Chapter 4 Operation Front Panel 1. FREQUENCY SELECTOR: Used to set the desired transmit and receive frequency. The frequency is digitally displayed in the Display window next to the selector. The FREQUENCY SELECTOR knob next to the display, allows changing each digit on the frequency display by first placing the frequency display cursor (using SHF button) below the desired digit and then turning the selector knob. - Page 7 Operation (Continued) 5. SQUELCH CONTROL: This control is used to control or eliminate receiver background noise in the absence of an incoming signal. For maximum receiver sensitivity, it is necessary that the control be adjusted only to the point where the receiver background noise is eliminated.
- Page 8 Operation (Continued) be having trouble receiving will know that you have finished transmitting. This feature is sometimes used in weak signal conditions or other special circumstances. We discourage use of this feature in normal operation, as it can be annoying to other operators. 11.

Operation (Continued) Microphone The receiver and transmitter are controlled by the push-to-talk switch on the microphone. Press the switch and the transmitter is activated, release switch to receive. When transmitting hold the microphone two inches from the mouth and speak clearly in a normal “voice”. This transceiver comes complete with a low- impedance dynamic microphone. -
Page 12: Frequency Selection
Operation (Continued) Frequency Selection Frequency selection in the RCI-2950DX 6 can be accomplished using any one of the following three methods: 1. The first method of frequency selection uses the SHF (Shift) button and the ▲ (UP)/▼(DOWN) buttons located on the front panel. To accomplish this, press the SHF button until the display cursor on the frequency display is positioned under the frequency digit that is to be changed. -
Page 13: Mode Selection
Operation (Continued) Mode Selection To select an operating mode, rotate the MODE selector, and place it in the desired operating mode position. RF Power Control This feature allows the adjustment of the RF output power continuously over the range of 1W through 25W. - 12 -... -
Page 14: Chapter 5 Programming
"SCAN+" or "SCAN-" will be displayed on the LCD display. The scan will stop on any active frequency for the duration of the transmission. When the transmission stops, the RCI-2950DX 6 will wait approximately 2 seconds before it resumes scanning. To deactivate the Scan mode, press the MAN (manual) button or turn the Squelch control counterclockwise until you hear receiver noise. -

Page 16: Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning
Chapter 6 Frequency Scanning Frequency scanning can be achieved by either of two methods: the first method involves scanning of all frequencies between a pre-set upper and lower scan frequency. The second method permits the scanning of frequencies previously programmed in the memory locations 0 thru F. All-Frequency scanning To allow All-Frequency scanning, the user must first program the upper and lower scan limit frequencies as follows:... -
Page 17: Memory Scanning
Frequency Scanning (Continued) Memory Scanning The RCI-2950DX 6 has 16 non-volatile memory locations which can be programmed with any frequency within the operating range of the radio. The scan function of the unit can scan the frequencies in the 16 memory locations. -
